Granny's gone and done it again

The manager told us that since the hospital became affiliated with the Missouri Cancer Associates (I think that is who they said) they were going to be providing a lot of outpatient type services and treatments so they wanted to provide a place for family members...and patients who weren't inpatients...to stay as long as they needed to. It was perfect since we live 3 hours from the hospital and his procedure was scheduled for 8 AM we didn't have to get up at 3 and dodge deer to get there. Plus the house was was like a quarter of a block away from the hospital proper next to their parking lot. All we had to do was throw our overnight bags in the car and walk over to the hospital.

Oh..Just like this as I was saying. Very close to the hospital.

Immaculate. It was like a big ranch style home with a central living room/kitchen/dining area with corridors where the rooms were. I won't say that the bedrooms were huge, just bed, nightstands, dresser and TV but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and nice. I'd definitely use the service again should fate wind us up that far from home again. Well worth 40 dollars a night.

Only mine was free.

It wasn't a set fee. If you could pay they appreciated the donation as the service is provided by the hospital. If you couldn't afford to pay that was fine too. It was such a good offer we donated more than they asked for and we received a nice letter from the foundation thanking us. It would be great if all major hospitals could offer such a service. Many hospitals even have floors that they aren't using that they could convert into rooms for people to use. Surprised that many haven't picked up the ball and ran with it. But great that they can offer the service for free like Ronald McDonald House. But even they appreciate donations, I bet.

Beautiful. Reminds me that I need to dig up and split my hostas. I have two big plants just like yours. Question is, where to transplant them to.

Lawyer called today about the taxes gave me 2 #s to call united way then closed my case.

Bah humbug

Sorry I did not reply last night. I went to bed shortly after I posted that. Nothing new from the doctor today, we just got all the paperwork done. It's going to be a long week waiting for the surgery day. There are some of his pain meds he can't take until after surgery and he is going to be in more pain because of it.

Same thing happened to me. I had to go a week without advil

Same here. They are calling for some light snow here today maybe some freezing rain but the temp is only 22 now and heading for 32. The sun just went under cloud cover so I don't see much of the 4 inches melting today. Tomorrow is supposed to be 60 so maybe tomorrow. I am so over winter. Hard on the old mental state to have a week of temps in the upper 60s then suddenly it's 8 degrees and snowing. Just checked 85 on Saturday. Like...really? Seriously? Okay, I can live with that!

84 here but it feels like 89

DH takes a blood thinner for his A-fib. Every surgeon he talked to had a different idea of how long to hold it before surgery. One said three to four days, another said three. His cardiologist just laughed and said 2 days was enough. So who are you supposed to believe? He had a gall bladder with gangrene and nobody seemed to know or call his cardiologist to find out.

It's 25 here. I'll take either 84 or 89 at this point.
